Title: How to get current Net Hashrate by PHP? Post by: gri0 on May 31, 2014, 08:05:31 AM Hello!
I want to get some stats for the crypto currency. Tell me please, is it possible to get current Net Hashrate by PHP? Or I need to parse some third party sites for it?

talking about the sum of all miners across the global bitcoin network. The best you can do is to calculate an estimate based on the current difficulty level and the time between blocks, and of course it is always changing. If you don't already have a PHP code library which parses the blockchain, then the easiest thing to do is probably use an API service such as the one provided by blockchain.info.

The problem is I need to get the difficulty levels from some different cryptocurrencies. And there is not service such as blockchain.info for them. Maybe some of them do not have a block explorer yet :) What is the way to get info in this case? I mean, the service like a whattomine.com, how they get the levels and rates?

The code should be open source for each currency. Some currencies change difficulty every block. In most cases, I think the difficulty level is at least stored in each block. So you will have to write your own code to check this if the code isn't out there. |
